BOXES FOR ALIDOR
Are Auctioned Off at the Opera
House at Good Figures.


Auctioneer Doherty stood up in the
middle of the stage at the Grand yester-
day forenoon and cried ''tyf, tyfi, tyfi,
tyii, tyfi-i-i-ve, who'll give me thirty?'
at about the same rate of speed that a
well arranged man would move across
an open field, just ahead of an ambitious
bull, in the direction of rail fence. He
was selling boxes for the presentation
of Signor JanOtta's opera, "AlidOr"
next week, and bids were made for the
boxes by small knot of men who sat
in the parquet and raised each
other.
Bids had been received for boxes
showed that deep interest in the pre-
sentation of the opera was being
taken by the people outside of st. Paul.
DR.. A. j. Stone, of ST. Paul, who is
something of a musical critic himself,
takes a good deal of interest in first
hight performances, and Box G was
knocked off to him for Monday night.
He paid the handsome sum of $50 for it..
w. s. Brown, a prominent Duluth real
estate dealer and capitalist, paid S35 for
the privilege of sitting in the same box
Tuesday night, and w. A. Van Slyke
caught it for Wednesday night at S25.
l.. NJ. Maynard, of Saltwater, paid $50
for box for the Thursday night per-
Torrance, while NJ. +. Hopping, of ST.
Paul, and l.. S. Yerkes, of Mime apo
lis, went him SIS better.
1t was anticipated by some that the
boxes would go for much heavier fig
ures than these, but, considering that
this was the first day of the sale, the re-
suit is gratifying to those most deeply
interested. Stage carpenters were at
work yesterday polishing up the stage
settings and putting things into shape
generally.

termining his Judgment in favor of any
book or books. He continued:
II must, however, acknowledge that
strong appeals have been made to my
fears, in threatening of combined politi-
cal influence to destroy the confidence
in which l have been held, and which |
h ave endeavored to merit, and to re-
move me from the position Inow occupy

nounce for the book which they have
made and which they declare to be the
only one that meets the requirements of
the law"
Il now submit to the public and to the
good ladies themselves, who have given
these officers this power, whether in the
purpose to influence action by selfish
motives to bias mans better Judgment
the method by intimidation is not just
as disreputable as by bribery. Respect
ing the books known as the Pathfinder
series, my first impressions were very
favorable and my desire has been to
agree with the many who have asked
for the recommendation of this
to learn that these books were
considered by the state board of health
of Massachusetts and were refus ed
place on the list of books suitable for
the use of the schools under this law,
refused again by the state board of
Maine with this comment, Even chill
dren will detect the fallaey of many of
its statements, and will thus loose faith
in all associate teachings. Intemper-
ance of speech is not conducive to
temperance in living Again in Mich
igan and in Wisconsin; and finally in
securing their adoption in part in
Vermont it was necessary to
exclude from the commission any repre-
sentative of either the teaching or the
medical profession. l therefore feel
warranted in acting with great caution,
and as | shall be left to execute this law
after this commission shall have done
its work and adjourned, l feel that the
public good requires that no opportun-
ity be given the enemies of the law to
defeat its wholesale influence through
the extravaganza demands of its friends"

INSANELY JEALOUS.
Tom Nc Carthy Said to Have Been
Troubled That WAY.

Mrs. Mccarthy wife of Tom McCarthy,
the man who shot Henry Smith Satur-
day night, called at the GLOBE office
last night in company with her mother
and sister, Mrs. Rose. Mrs. Mccarthy
said she had been deeply wronged by
the newspaper reports of the shooting
affair. She claimed there had never
been anything wrong between Smith
and herself. He was friend of the
family. Her mother a year ago had
cured a sore throat with which Smith
was suffering, and since then he had felt
grateful to the family. Mrs. Rose said
she had heard Mccarthy threaten to
shoot his wife four times, and once
threatened to throw himself off the
bridge if she spoke to man again.
They all claimed that Mccarthy was an
inSanely jealous man, though temperate
and good at heart, and he couldn't
bear to have his wife speak to
man. He went so far once as to have
his wife, her sister and mother arrested
and thrown into the station house,
charging them with street-walking,
when they had gone to the Market res
taurant to get supper. 1t seems to be a
case where the mOther-in-law and sister,
in-law figured conSpicuOusly. Mrs. Nc
Carthy said she would defend Smiths
character to the last, for he had always
treated her like gentleman.

THE DEATH OF w. f. DAVIDSON.
The following resolutions in regard to
the death of William F. Davidson were
passed, latter which the board adjourned:
Resolved, That the death of w. F. Davidson,
a perpetual member of this chamber, has
taken from active life one of our most ener.
getic, progressive and useful citizens, whose
sagacity and indomitable perseverance gave
him the supremacy of navigation of the
more than il SiRpi river and its tributaries for
him the instrument Of edieelnqttnry, and made
that agency more largely than any other onee
man to the growth and development of the
city OF st. Paul, the state of Minnesota and
contiguous territory; and that these qualities
enabled him TO successfully prove that he
was no less remarkable on the soil than when
holding supremacy of navigation, for the
many costly and stately structures reared by
him in this, the city of his adoption, and his
extensive building and enterprises else
where IN the state. will remain enduring
monuments to his ability, energy and great
public worth; and almost lead to the belief
that the hand of destiny marked and told him
Off as the most efficient man to do these great
works which redounded so much to the well
fare and prosperity of the people, creating
new empires in this great new Northwest
Second-His fidelity to all the requirements
that constitute good citizen and a foremost
business man, coupled with the pre-eminent
qualities before recited, demand of us crown
ing tributes of admiration and respect.
Third-To his bereaved family we tender
our deepest sympathy, and direct that a copy
of these resolutions be authenticated and
transmitted to his widow.
Fourth-As further mark of respect to his
memory be it also
